The Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC,[2] pronounced /ˈflɛtsi/) serves as an interagency law enforcement training body for 105 United States government federal law enforcement agencies.[3] The stated mission of FLETC is to "...train those who protect our homeland". Through the Rural Policing Institute (RPI) and the Office of State and Local Training, it provides tuition-free and low-cost training to state, local, campus and tribal law enforcement agencies.[4]
